Bluebirds symbolize wealth and prosperity and are also seen as spiritual messengers that herald joy and prosperity. If a bluebird appears in your life, it is believed that you will be successful, happy, and your family will enjoy good health. In North America, due in part to increasing nesting competition from other species, these little birds declined in population between the 1950s and 1970s. Fortunately, there have been some people who worked tirelessly to help bluebird populations recover. In southwest Idaho, United States, lives 96-years-young A Larson, lovingly known as the “Bluebird Man.” Al was one of the first citizen scientists to dedicate time and effort to preserving these precious birds. He now travels more than 5,000 miles each summer to monitor bluebird nest boxes he built and installed across five counties in the state. Here is our Beloved Supreme Master Ching Hai’s response upon learning of his amazing life-work. “From Supreme Master Ching Hai for Al Larson. Bluebird Protector, Wildlife Photographer. In Recognition of Life dedicated to the Protection and Conservation of Bluebirds, Inspiring Kindness, Nobility, and Nurturing the Community Spirit. With Compliments and Gratitude for Your Compassionate and Benevolent Commitment to Saving Precious Animal Lives.” She cheerfully presents Al Larson with the “Shining World Compassion Award” as we mentioned, plus US$15,000 for his love filled noble work in God's mercy. “I just want to thank the Supreme Master for the attention that She has given to my endeavors. " " I guess all I can say is thank you, again! It’s something that I had never ever dreamed of." 藍鴝鳥象徵財富與繁榮，也被視為靈性使者，預示喜悅與繁榮的來臨。如果一隻藍鴝鳥出現在您的生活中，據信您將成功、快樂，且您的家人將享有健康。在北美洲，一部分是因為和其他物種的築巢競爭加劇，在一九五○年代至一九七○年代間這些小鳥的數量減少。幸運的是，有些人孜孜不倦地幫助藍鴝鳥族群恢復數量。在美國愛達荷州西南部，住著一位九十六歲的阿爾‧拉森，他被親切地稱為「藍鴝鳥人」。阿爾是最早投入時間與精力保護這些珍貴鳥類的公民科學家之一。現在他每年夏天要旅行五千多英里，觀測他在該州五個縣建造和安置的藍鴝鳥巢箱。以下是我們摯愛的清海無上師得知他美好的畢生志業後所做的回應。「清海無上師頒贈此獎給阿爾‧拉森先生，藍鴝鳥保護者、野生動物攝影師，表彰其終身致力於保護與保育藍鴝鳥，鼓舞人心的慈愛與高貴及社區精神的培育。我們頌讚與感激您拯救珍貴動物生命，愛心與仁慈的奉獻。」她欣喜地�� ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzHhelcgdNQ

George Washington was born in 1732, a fourth generation Virginian. His father passed away when he was just 11, and his education was modest. The first position he held was as a land surveyor. In 1752, following the death of one of his brothers, George Washington inherited the family estate at Mount Vernon, on the banks of the Potomac River. This would be his home for the rest of his life. He also took over his brother’s position as major in Virginia’s militia, where he began his military career. Although his tall stature made him an easy target, as a devout Anglican, George Washington had a secret power on the battlefield: his unshakable faith in God. In 1755, after miraculously being protected and surviving the conflict, 23-year-old George Washington wrote to his brother John Augustine: “But by the All-Powerful Dispensations of Providence, I have been protected beyond all human probability and expectation...” Amidst the conflict that continued for eight long and grueling years, George Washington always remembered the vanquished and prayed for an end to the hostilities. After one of many battles, he ordered the next day to be: “...a day of fasting, prayer and humiliation, to implore the Lord and Giver of all victory to pardon our manifold sins and wickedness, and that it would please Him to bless the Continental army with His Divine favor and protection.” At the end of 1777, the Continental Army set up camp in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania for the duration of winter. They were short of supplies and faced hunger and illness amidst the bitter cold. It is said that George Washington often went into the woods by himself and humbly prayed to God for his country. “In that woods pointing to a close in view, I heard a plaintive sound as, of a man at prayer. I tied my horse to a sapling and went quietly into the woods and to my astonishment I saw the great George Washington on his knees alone, with his sword on one side and his cocked hat on the other. He was at Prayer to the God of the Armies, beseeching to interpose with his Divine aid, as it was ye Crisis, and the cause of the country, of humanity, and of the world.” 喬治‧華盛頓出生於一七三二年，是第四代維吉尼亞人。父親在他十一歲時去世，並受普通教育。他的第一份工作是土地測量員。一七五二年，在他的一位兄長死後，喬治‧華盛頓繼承了位於波托瑪克河畔弗農山莊的家產。這裡將是他餘生的家。他還接管了他兄長職位成為維吉尼亞民兵少校，在這裡開始了部隊生涯。儘管他高大的身形易成為被攻擊目標，作為虔誠的聖公會教徒，喬治‧華盛頓在戰場上擁有秘密的力量：他對上帝不可動搖的信仰。 一七五五年，在衝突中奇蹟般�� ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suXniaJ6p34
